"Mediant," I think, but I did so in the NYT xword forum. Folks over there seemed cool with "dehisce," not as cool with "evulse." Too much arcana for Rex. If you're into gore, though, "dehisce" is a good word to know, as apparently it's something that wounds do (or so says Orange). Ew, yes, just Googled "dehisced" (past tense) and it's true. Surgical wounds. Gross.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for loving the blog yo.

HA ha. (seriously, I'm laughing out loud at myself). I really should, I don't know, pay attention or something. <BR/><BR/>That makes Orange's last comment a Lot less of a non sequitur...<BR/><BR/>This hack solver is quite honored to have such accomplished puzzlers dropping by.Rex Parkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16145707733877505087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-1160411460007189272006-10-09T12:31:00.000-04:002006-10-09T12:31:00.000-04:00Aw, thanks people.I don't blog though (just have a...Aw, thanks people.<BR/>I don't blog though (just have a placeholder), as I have just barely enough time to do the daily puzzles and perform my day-to-day job duties outside of regular life here.

So once again, go Tigers.<BR/><BR/>And I'm inclined to trust Will Shortz on most things, which is not something I typically say about complete strangers.Rex Parkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16145707733877505087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-1160365083751232322006-10-08T23:38:00.000-04:002006-10-08T23:38:00.000-04:00I'm inclined to trust Will Shortz on the capitaliz...I'm inclined to trust Will Shortz on the capitalized Ping-Pong—he seems to enjoy table tennis/ping-pong/whatever about as much as crosswords.<BR/><BR/>If there were a prize for best crossword-related blog commenting, Howard Barkin would definitely be a top contender.Orangehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17559144141235215318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-1160359564661970982006-10-08T22:06:00.000-04:002006-10-08T22:06:00.000-04:00No prob, Rex.

I always enjoy reading about what other people liked, disliked, and were stumped by in puzzles - thanks for the input.<BR/><BR/>I myself have a habit of wandering across puzzlers' blogs and randomly commenting here and there, without blogging myself. I guess it reassures me that I'm not the only one with this little pastime, while hopefully not annoying the bloggers too much.<BR/><BR/>Keep on puzzling, and most importantly, have fun.Howard Bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35115061.post-1160346893016976882006-10-08T18:34:00.000-04:002006-10-08T18:34:00.000-04:00Thanks for this.
